Place the ground beef, tomatoes, onions, parsley, 7 Spice, sumac, cinnamon, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
Cut each pita into half. Pull apart the two sides of the pita. Spoon about 3-4 tablespoons of the beef mixture inside each pita half and close.
Heat a grill pan or regular pan on medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place four of the stuffed pitas on the grill pan and cook until the pita is golden in color and beef is cooked to your liking, about 10 minutes total, flipping halfway through. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and the remaining stuffed pitas.
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the stuffed pitas on a baking dish and brush with the olive oil. Bake until the pita is golden and crispy and the beef is cooked to your liking, about 10 minutes.
Serve hot immediately with plain yogurt for dipping, if desired.
